I Asked this awhile back in the JAOM thread but without a response.
When I drink my jack I like a slice or 2 or orange in it. About a year ago I discovered these packets call "true" orange. They make lemon as well as like.
I'm wondering if I could substitute the packets for actual oranges?

I think each packet is equivalent to 1 wedge.
The packets show 100% real crystallized orange.

I ask because I would rather use it to take up less room with whole orange slices in my Carboy.

I'd have said no. Crystalised fruit is just that. For decoration of cake or confectionary.

Plus you lose any of the fresh fruit flavour. The sugars would ferment but as JAO finishes sweet, I'd suspect that you'd also have lost the volatile flavour and aroma elements normally obtained from fresh fruit.......hence it'd likely end up even sweeter.

I'd say, just get a bigger fermenter and scale it up....
